I don't care what color he is I just don't want higher taxes! FFS how can 52% of this country want to pay more taxes and have a larger government?

we will never see another Black president in my life time, possibly as long as humans remain on the Earth, mark my words. There's still plenty holding people of color back, Obama is an exception to the rule.

now that i think about it, i guess it was kind of delusional to think that a white condidate had any chance against a black candidate considering the amount of appeasement to blacks this country has been going through lately. can you imagine the amount of racism claims we would have heard had obama not won?

If anything, if you have a hint of black blood you can still be classified as a minority, with all the benefits such as preference in admissions, hiring, sympathy from the media even if you're not poor, inner-city. So keep crying over nothing.
wait really? I'm part north African...
The part that likes malt liquor I'm guessing
Oh snap!

*le sigh*
Obama's victory had almost nothing to do with his race.
He was a Democratic candidate running after eight years of the most unpopular Republican president in modern history, the economy going to crap made it even more likely that voters would want a regime change, his entire message of "Hope" and "Change" resonated very well in an uncertain time period, he's an excellent public speaker (after watching Bush struggle just to read a speech off of a page), and he picked a competent, experienced running mate instead of a brain-dead moron (who is, admittedly, a MILF). Obama could have been black, white, asian, or martian; he still would have won this election.
The entire reason that Kerry lost the last election against a fairly unpopular incumbent was because he wasn't able to brand himself--instead of voting FOR a John Kerry, people were voting for a "Not-Bush". You might be able to get a number of votes that way, but not enough. What made you think that McCain running on a platform of a "Not-Really-Bush" would do any better? Obama actually got voters excited about voting FOR Obama.

all hell would've broke lose if he'd lost, or imagine if it were close, all of the cheating and faulty voting practices that would've been looked into.

seriously.....imagine living through the riots and police dogs and separate but equal....and now there's a black president.
Half black raised by white people and abandoned by his black father. But who cares about the details...
and viewed as black by the majority of people, Racist people don't give 2 shits if you're 90% white, if you look black you're black. Do you think the fire hoses and police dogs were less forgiving because a person was 1/2 white? Obama would have gotten his ass chomped and hosed the fuck down just like every other black person.

95% of African Americans vote Democratic. I"m not saying there isn't some sort of racial bias, but truth is, it had more to do with his party affiliation than his skin color.

Yeah gotta love Affirmative Action! Blacks are SO LUCKY to only get the opportunity at 2 or 3 out of every 100 positions. I know as a White man who is all but promised the other 98 positions 10/10 times I'm fucking MAD AS HELL ABOUT THIS! Why should they be guaranteed 3% of the jobs and I only be guaranteed 97%, it's B.S. I want 100% of the jobs to go to only white people.
benefits? lol you're sooooo crraaaazy!
look who just got elected president. time to stop whining about being held down.
So one black person gets elected after 43 other men have and now America is magically this place of total equality? I guess Obama advancing totally negates all the blacks being held down because they're black.
I'm sure they'll all be happy to hear you've declared this.
no, but if he can do it, any black man can.
